Isn't it remarkable, Steven? This world is full of so many possibilities. Each living thing has an entirely unique experience. The sights they see, the sounds they hear. The lives they live are so complicated... a-and so simple. I can't wait for you to join them. Steven, we can't both exist. I'm going to become half of you. And I need you to know that every moment you love being yourself, that's me, loving you and loving being you. Because you're going to be something extraordinary. You're going to be a human being.
~ Rose's message for Steven in her tape
All this life that's been growing wild here on Earth... None of it will survive my invasion. We're not creating life from nothing... We're taking life, and leaving nothing behind.
~ Pink Diamond realizing the consequences of her invasion

Rose Quartz also known as Pink Diamond is the overarching protagonist of the original Steven Universe series and the overarching antagonist of the film, Steven Universe: The Movie, and the epilogue series, Steven Universe Future.

She was voiced by Susan Egan.

Her Good Ranking[]

What Makes Her Admirable?[]

  • When she was a Diamond she treated most of her Gems with respect and care, even the pebbles in her room.
  • After establishing a Kindergarten on Earth, she goes down in disguise to meet the new gems and welcome them.
  • Upon realizing there was life on Earth and how it would be affected by Gem production, she tried to convince the other diamonds to leave the planet alone.
  • She formed the Crystal Gems and the rebellion by motivating others to stand up against Homeworld's regime.
  • She rotated between being Rose and Pink in the war to give her allies a better chance.
  • She and Pearl attacked Blue Diamond's court to make a name for the rebels.
  • She accepted Garnet as a cross-gem fusion and helped her become her own gem.
  • She motivated Bismuth to join the Crystal Gems and follow her passion of forging weapons, which allowed the rebellion to gain weapons and a better fighting chance.
  • She came up with a plan to fake Pink Diamond's shattering with Pearl, which succeeded in driving the remaining Homeworld forces off of Earth.
  • She continued to lead the Crystal Gems for several centuries.
  • When the Diamonds launched a final attack on Earth, she protected Pearl and Garnet with her shield.
  • She and the other Gems continued to protect Earth for several centuries.
  • She motivated Buddy Budwick when he thought he'd failed as an explorer.
  • She and the Crystal Gems hunted as many Corrupted Gems as they could and bubbled them while Rose also tried to find a possible cure.
  • She recruited Amethyst into the Crystal Gems after finding her.
  • She attended Greg's concert when no one else did and complimented him on his musical talent.
  • She created a healing fountain where the Crystal Gems could go to heal themselves if their gems were ever cracked.
  • She resurrected a lion with her tears.
  • She had a heart-to-heart with Greg after he tried to fuse with her.
  • She saves Greg and baby Sour Cream from an out of control Ferris wheel.
  • She made a tape for Steven assuring him this was her choice and telling him how happy it made her to be his mother.
  • She left behind a Laser Light Cannon in Greg's care in case it would ever be needed.
  • Her influence motivates the Gems and Steven several times throughout the series.

What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]

  • She is both directly and indirectly responsible for almost everything that happened in the series.
  • She is morally grey and has made far too many questionable choices and actions to be considered NPG, such as:
    • She abandoned Spinel in her garden for seemingly no reason at all, where she stayed for 6000 years. She also never told anyone, as Pearl, who knew Spinel, tells Steven that one day she had just disappeared.
    • She forced Pearl into secrecy regarding her past as a Diamond by giving her a command that would literally not allow her to talk about it and force her to cover her mouth every time the shattering came up.
    • Even though she poofed Bismuth in self-defense, she still lied to the other gems about her fate by telling them she had been lost in battle, deluding them into thinking their friend had been dead for thousands of years.
    • She faked her own shattering despite knowing the other Diamonds deeply cared for her and even though the Diamonds would have caused the destruction of humankind, she's still leaving her family to mourn for thousands of years.
    • She is both directly and indirectly responsible for most (if not all) of Steven's trauma, which would lead to his corruption and him becoming a Fallen Hero.
  • She is incredibly secretive, especially towards her allies, as she kept several things from them throughout her life, even non-important things like her lions.
  • She had a short patience and a habit of throwing violent tantrums when the other Diamonds didn't give her a colony, to the point where she permanently damages her first Pearl, leading to White turning her into her own emotionless puppet. What's worse is that she hid this and her other destructive tantrums from all the Gems, even Pearl, meaning she ultimately never made up for her past actions.
  • She is directly responsible for the entire gem war and the corruption of Earth, as even though she had good intentions, she recklessly started the rebellion without an actual plan. Plus the consequences of the war and her own actions as both Pink and Rose are seen nearly everywhere in the series, ranging from Lapis's imprisonment in the mirror to Pearl's untreated trauma and the psychological trauma of the Diamonds, the Crystal Gems, and even her own son.

Trivia[]

  • She and her son Steven are currently the only mother-son duo on this wiki.
  • Rose is currently the only Inconsistently Admirable to be directly responsible for another character becoming Inconsistently Admirable as well.
